Profile

Ramesh Nadarajah am a BHF clinical research fellow at the Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine at the University of Leeds and a Cardiology Speciality Registrar. He is currently completing a PhD investigating the use of artificial intelligence for development and validation of a multivariable prediction model for atrial fibrillation in the general population using routinely collected datasets in primary care.

Qualifying in medicine at the University of Cambridge and obtaining a MA (Hons) in neuroscience, Dr Nadarajah worked as a junior doctor in London he has undertaken specilaity training in Cardiology, most recently at Leeds General Infirmary.
